Pratt Whitney Connecticut Operations Tooling Definitions Durable Tooling

Pratt & Whitney Connecticut Operations Tooling Definitions • Durable Tooling: A type of tool that is designed to last (or can be refurbished to last) for the duration of the product life cycle. Such devices are used (but not limited) to holding, positioning, forming or casting a part. Durable Tooling is not consumed in the manufacturing process nor does it become part of the end product. Durable tooling may be used in the development of an engine and have subsequent use in production. – Special Tooling: A subset of Durable Tooling; which are durable tools charged to a military product line code. Reference PW-SLP 4. 7 • Shop Supplies: Items that are used in support of manufacturing processes and are readily found in a manufacturing environment. – Perishable Tooling: Tools, which by the nature of their design are directly consumed in the manufacturing process; items which through normal wear during use cannot perform the original function for which they were obtained. In many instances these tools can be re-sharpened or repaired without losing their original identity thereby extending their useful life. • Capital Equipment: (gross fixed assets): Reference PW-SP A. 1; also UTC Financial Manual - Sections 1. 1, 9. 1 and 28. 1
